Score 97/100 · Drink 2022-2036, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2018

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Atlas captures all the nuance of Howell Mountain in its intensely savory personality. Graphite, lavender, menthol, crushed rocks, crème de cassis and wild flowers abound in this potent, brooding Cabernet Sauvignon. All the elements are wonderfully balanced in a vivid, strikingly beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon from Dakota Shy that will reward readers with many years of exceptional drinking.

Deep purple-black, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Atlas exudes pronounced plum preserves, blueberry pie and crème de cassis scents with an undercurrent of cigar box, mocha, licorice, chargill and tapenade. Full-bodied and packed with pure, vibrant black and blue fruits in the mouth, it has a lovely velvety texture and great length.
